Great tip! A / V cable for iPod

Just passing along a tip I got today from a friend. I have been looking for the cable to be able to get my iPod movies on my TV. There are a few cables out there, and they look like standard mini jack to Red/White/Yellow RCA. Well the ones for iPod specifically will work fine, but are about 20-40 bucks, depending on where you look. Apple sells it for 29.00
Well, here is a little trick and a mean swap that Apple did. If you use a standard Cam Corder A/V cable, that has the same Red/White/Yellow RCA plugs , it wont work if you use the colors to the right jacks
BUT! If you swap the Yellow Video CAble for the Red Audio one, it works like a charm! I used my Cam Corder cable, did the swap, and had iPod on my 60" Big Screen. And that cable is black too, just like my iPod
Just thought Id pass this along..

oh ok , sorry for the dupe, I am sorta new to all of this.
I did try to search and could not find any info on it..
Thanks for indulging , yet another video newbie

Is there a usb 3.0 cable for iPods?

I was wondering if there are USB 3.0 cables for iPods. Any feedback would be great

No. Apple only sells one cable for the iDevices.
The iDevices will work with a USB port but it will be not faster than a USB 2 port.

Cable for ipod - HELP!!!

I was looking at purchasing the XtremeMac Auxiliary Audio Cable for iPod and I just want to be clear that I am understanding the description correctly. Do you plug the cable into your ipod (where the headphones go) and also into your stereo (also where the headphones go) so it plays from your stereo speakers? I would appreciate an answer soon since I am considering buying this in time for Christmas. Thanks.

I don't think that is right. You need an audio in jack on the stereo. A headphone jack would be audio out. I haven't seen a car stereo with a headphone jack. I have seen an auxilary jack on some - for use with mp3 players.

30-pin to RCA cable for iPod Touch??

Are there any cables out there than connect to the iPod Touch 30 pin port, to RCA (left right audio). I would like to connect the iPod to my home stereo system without using a cradle or to my car aux input (making a custom-built kit) so I really need a high-quality cable only (not from the headphone jack). I see some for older ipods, but for Ipod touch??
Please help!!

I believe you are talking this type of cable

I have not tried yet myself, but as a hardware issue - it should work for iTouch, bear in mind, both iPod and iTouch works on my iPod HiFi (via dock). Unless the software is not compatible .... e.g. iTouch is not working on my car stereo via dock.

They will fix or replace anything that's considered a manufacturer's defect. They will not replace things that are damaged.

What usb cable for ipod touch 4th g 64gb?

I got a used iPod touch 64gb 4th generation, but no charging cable. I assume that a charger for a classic iPod video 64gb wouldn't fit, but which cable would be the right one?
There is one for sale, called a "Sync Data USB Cable+Home+DC Car Charger For Apple iPod Touch 4G 4th Gen 8GB/64GB". It seems as if this would be the right item or am I missing something? This is a generic item. Should I do that?
Thanks!
Mildred.

This one "Sync Data USB Cable+Home+DC Car Charger For Apple iPod Touch 4G 4th Gen 8GB/64GB". should be fine.
The charger for a classic iPod video 64gb may not work since early iPod chargers used FireWire charging (12 volts) vice USB (5 volts) for charging.

Is the "Apple Composite AV Cable" for Ipod touch a charger or power adapter

What I mean is that if it's plugged in all the time while playing it (on my stereo), is the battery being used (charger) anyway or is it directly getting the power from the power adapter therefore not using the battery therefore not using/draining the battery cycle (as a battery as a limited number of cycles in it's life). Perhaps it's not a charger/adapter thing but a Ipod Touch conception thing. If I use 24h a day the adapter, am I using the battery cycle or not? Who can answer me this for sure (Apple?)?
Also on a similar note, can I connect the Ipod touch on another PC to charge it (through the dock/USB cable) but without synching it (I know only one PC can synch but if I want to recharge the Ipod at my girlfriend's place on her PC without Itunes can I?)

Anyone else has an idea on the issue of if the Ipod touch uses the power adapter/charger as direct source of power and not through the battery? If the battery is now fully charged and the Ipod is playing (and plugged in) is only the adapter working or is also the battery?
remember the good old days when electronics could work with the adapter or the batteries of the time (non-lithium). If you didn't have a battery in it would work. Even if you did have a battery in, the adapter would be the source. I currently have a 20g Iriver and it displays a "plug" symbol when plugged in and playing and not the battery symbol which lets me to believe the battery is not being used.
I am concerned that if a lithium battery as lifetime of 500 cycles for example, and I use 5 hours a day the player (plugged in all the time) that 1 cycle will be done within 5 days even though I wasn't actually away from the power outlet. Of course I will use my Touch often away as well but overall by using 2h a day away and 3h a day plugged in, if it's the battery working all the time, my battery lifetime will be decreased by a lot.
Any ideas? Any way to ask Apple officially? email address? form they will respond to?

Vga cable for iPod 5

With my iPad2 or my iPod Touch I could connect a cable from 30 pin Apple to VGA and run a presentation to an overhead projector.
How do I do this with an iPad4 or iPod Touch 5?

Av cables for iPod to home stereo

do av cables (I've now tried Griffin and the Apple cables) always lower the sound volume?

If the sound is lowered, make sure the sound of whatever the ipod is plugged into is high enough. It may just be your computer or whatever its plugged into.

USB cable for iPod Touch

Can I use the older style USB connection cables (the ones with the buttons you squeeze to disconnect) with my new iPod touch? I don't want to damage it, but I have several of these older cables and it is nice to have one at the office and one at home without having to move them around.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Forums!
Yes, they work fine. I have some from old iPods (including FireWire cables), and from Griffin power accessories, with the push buttons, I use them all with my IPT (depending on where I am).
Hope this helps...

I lost the connection cable for my ipod and comp.

can someone tell me how i could get another cable that connects my ipod to my computer? i lost mine and need to update my ipod, please help me.
thank you

Also many wall chargers for iPods that have a USB port for charging will often come with a replacement iPod USB cable. So if you don't already have a wall charger, getting one of those will get you both a wall charger and the replacement cable you need.
An example of what I am talking about is the Griffin Powerblock...
http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powerblock/
$30 but a very nicely made charger, comes with an additional sync cable, and the prongs fold up into the body so it travels nicely without stabbing everything in your bag. We have one that we use to charge our iPods AND my palm pilot & my wife's Blackberry too. So only one charger needs to be brought along on trips for a number of devices.
